Conceptual framework for physiological processes leading to pressure ulcer development. The manifestation threshold marks the point at which damage is apparent at the skin and is the point of pressure ulcer detection and intervention under today's standard of care. The damage threshold 8 marks the point at which an objective test of physiological changes below the skin could reveal early damage that, with intervention, could prevent a pressure ulcer.
